with the "habit veste" coat which had been introduced
in January 1812 (lapels hooked together down to the belt, short
coat tails).
8029 Napoleonic French Line Chasseurs´
HÄT dress is the 1808-1811 habit kinski (one row of buttons,
short tails) which 1813 was substituted by the habit veste with
two button rows and breast lapels in regimental colour.
This
means that generally spoken the 1804-12 flags pattern as well as
the 1811/12-14 and 1815 pattern flags may be used with both the
dragoon and the chasseurs models.
Information
concerning flags.
French Cavalry
Flags ("standards") 1804-1815
French flags were basically the same design for all regiments. The only difference were sizes for infantry, cavalry and artillery and in some cases for the guard. Also the regimental numbers and the names of battles in which the individual regiment had taken part differed.
When Napoleon
became Emperor of France, new flags with red and
blue corners were handed out to the each squadron in
1804, reduced to 1 per regiment (carried in the 1st squadron)
in 1808.
In 1811 the tricolore flag had been introduced to the army, some regiments of the Grande Armee got them in time for the 1812 campaign, others continued to fly their old 1804 pattern.
Flag-staves were dark blue, probably green for the dragoons and topped by a gilded eagle and, with the 1812 pattern, a tricoloured cravat with golden fringe and golden cords and tassels. The eagle was carried by an officer.
From 1806 on those troops which did not fight in closed formation like hussars, chasseurs a cheval and light infantry should leave their flags in garrison befor departure to campaign. Nevertheless many of them carried their flags in the field.
1815 Napoleon had to hand out new flags to his army, which were somewhat larger and of a lighter red and blue than the previous patterns.
